Mitigating Plastic Pollution
Powdura® ECO powder coatings from Sherwin-Williams are a next-level approach to sustainability. This transformative product collection elevates powder coating sustainability to new heights – providing customers a more eco-conscious solution to product protection, colour and performance.
Plastic is an ever-present material in both our personal and professional lives – it’s hard to imagine a world without it. From our pantries to our safety helmets, plastic has become an essential protective material, but its production is a growing global concern due to plastic pollution.
